Hi i am planning on getting some rota circuit 8 16x7" wrapped with 205/50/16 with offset of +40. My question is: is this setup recommended for a 240sx considering rotas are made for fwd cars. Thx in advance.

Always test fit before you buy.Rota is for the big H.If you do end up with this kit, at least use the 205/55-16 to maintain overall diameter!

you really should not run those rims, they are going to look so ridiculous on your car unless you run some serious spacers, which some will debate about using. I would look for some used rims with the correct offset and a nice width maybe 8-9in. if i were youjust my opinion though

you can check out some websites such as rbmotoring.com, takumiproject.com, and even keep a lookout on EbayI'm assuming your four lug but if you are five-lug syline r33 wheels are real nice, and I beleive they clear z brakes?

But for the price of those Rota's new you can get some decent sized used jdm tyte wheels. So just say no to the Rota's

Also check out passwordjdm.com, that's where i got my used SSR's. There are also Team Dynamics rims, they have great offsets and lightweight wheels, just kind hard to find blanks.
